battle hymn of the republic
[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night has come and the ice ain't far off
Stand your ground high walls all around
As you bury yourself into the ground
The daylight draws near remember show no fear
As we drive the bastards back
The beating of drums the air in the night
Another wave of fire reigns down on their head
Find cover seek shelter or you'll end up with the dead
Running from the flames that engulf you and your fellow men
Stand righteous and courageous and live to fight another day
You look to the east and what do you see
Another battle for the weak
The sun in the sky the women they cry
From the destruction all around
All men must serve all men must die
But fight stronger side by side
The beating of drums the air in the night
The rattle of chains this is our battle hymn
Another wave of fire reigns down on their head
Find cover seek shelter or you'll end up with the dead
Running from the flames that engulf you and your fellow men
Stand righteous and courageous and live to fight another day
Another wave of fire reigns down on their head
Find cover seek shelter or you'll end up with the dead
Running from the flames that engulf you and your fellow men
Stand righteous and courageous and live to fight another day

Line by Line Meaning
Staring death in the face in this cold abandoned place
Facing imminent death in a desolate and harsh environment
The night has come and the ice ain't far off
Nightfall approaches, bringing extreme weather conditions
Stand your ground high walls all around
Remain firm and unwavering against the enemy, surrounded by fortifications
As you bury yourself into the ground
Prepare for battle by taking cover and protecting oneself
The daylight draws near remember show no fear
As the day breaks, stay brave and resolute
As we drive the bastards back
Push back and defeat the enemy
The beating of drums the air in the night
The sounds of war, echoing in the darkness
The rattle of chains this is our battle hymn
The clanging of weapons and tools become the anthem of the fight
Another wave of fire reigns down on their head
More attacks and danger from the enemy
Find cover seek shelter or you'll end up with the dead
Take cover to avoid being killed
Running from the flames that engulf you and your fellow men
Fleeing from deadly fires that threaten everyone's lives
Stand righteous and courageous and live to fight another day
Stay strong and brave, survive to keep fighting for a better tomorrow
You look to the east and what do you see
Observing the destruction and chaos in the eastern front
Another battle for the weak
Another struggle faced by those who are vulnerable
The sun in the sky the women they cry
Despite the beauty of nature, tragedy strikes and causes sorrow
From the destruction all around
Amidst the ruins and devastation in the aftermath of war
All men must serve all men must die
Everyone must contribute and eventually perish
But fight stronger side by side
However, we can fight with stronger unity

USA is a human nation, therefore it’s not perfect. However, USA has the ability to improve itself over time if it so chooses. Our Republic and it’s citizens have a good feel for right vs wrong and we are allowed to express ourselves freely and exercise power to correct our national course. A big problem we have is that we stopped heeding the words of our first President after WW2, which was to stay out of foreign entanglements.
The American Republic was never designed to field military bases all over the world, nor was it designed to handle imperial ambitions and colonies. We were designed to be an isolated self-reliant Federal Union of Semi-Sovereign Nation States governed by Republican Virtues and defended by patriotic God fearing free citizen-soldiers serving in regulated state militias. Free Civic-minded citizens whom can speak their minds freely, keep and bare their own arms, own property, and pursue their own happiness. Like Rome (a federation of Republican city-states interestingly enough), US became an empire by accident.
I honor our servicemen and women who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. I thank them for their sacrifices, they are real heroes and I am thankful beyond words for them. However, we never should have been there in the first place. It was a strategic mistake that quite frankly only benefited China. Saudi Arabia and I suspect China were the main players behind 9/11. Our unnecessary entanglement in foreign affairs is how we ended up there. It’s what cost the lives of so many good American heroes.
The Petro-Dollar system, international finance/cheap debt consumerism, and our taking up the mantle of world police is what has caused most of our current problems, including our slow moral decline. There is fair criticism there.
However, USA doesn’t deserve to collapse. Very few nations in history have handled the degree of relative power we have amassed since WW2 as gracefully and as benevolently as ours. For example, Canada and Mexico are still sovereign nations, the Japanese and Germans are still a people, and instead of attempting to conquer the world we have attempted to build a peaceful union of sovereign prosperous nations to stand besides us. Most hegemonic nations do no such thing. With half of the world’s GDP, more manufacturing power than all other nations combined, and as the only nuclear power in the immediate aftermath of WW2, we could have conquered most of the world if we had so chosen in the late 1940s. Most nations similarly positioned would have made that move. The Soviets obviously would have. My source for this claim is pretty much all of recorded human history.
If the dark day ever comes where the PRC or Russia run the world, I very much suspect the world will miss our era of hegemony. As the expression here goes, you don’t know what you got till it’s gone.
USA is an exceptional nation, I’m proud to be an American, and I love my country. I know America will recover from this and will have another Great Awakening. I believe in my fellow citizens. Both on the left and on the right. It may take some hard times for us, but America still has a destiny and good to do for the world. It’s a real shame to see Americans such as yourself having such a negative opinion of their own country.

Shamefully neutral!!!
the Lend/Lease Act: Materiel which has never been returned or repaid and by the way how many POW's did the US take off your hands and safeguarded them on US Soil and returned them to their homes at great expense to America?
How many brave Americans particularly Pilots enlisted in the Canadian Forces and never made it home?
And in WWI - Shamefully neutral.
Funding NATO - Shamefully neutral.
The Cold War - Shamefully Neutral.
Every German fighter I ever spoke to said that if the US did not get involved they, the Germans, would have won.
I have been told from Germans that the best thing that ever happened to their family was when the war ended that they were in the American sector of occupied Germany. And those in the Soviet Sector...well you know.
You're welcome.

"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free." The best lyrics of all time.
@vincedangerio546
It’s incredibly powerful.
@jyvben1520
idiot lyric if it is about an imaginary friend that never helps, just ask the families of the million+ dead from covid.
@roberthogue5138
Do you really feel that way? It is good to know that the U S has not alienated everyone. Sometimes it's hard for me to feel that way.
@jyvben1520
@The Last Crusade so 2 million ok
@mercylim8451
Amazing as they sing powerfully The Battle Hymn of the Republic
@GreekAnthems
I'm Greek. My Granddad fought against the reich and was imprisoned in Mauhthausen, Austria in WW2. He was freed by the US. Troops. God Bless America. Much love from Hellas
@jpringle1979
Nothing but respect for the Greeks. Without your philosophers the ideals and our way of life would of never existed. Without your ancestors bravery against tyrants, we not of had the example to follow in the defense of democracy and justice. Thank you for what your country gave us and gave the world.
@WarrenFDuffy
The thing the Nazis hated more than the Jews were those who fought against them. I have have heard it said by a survivor that ' Auschwitz was a holiday camp compared to the hell that was Mauthausen!'. God bless your brave grandad. True hero!
